I worked in law firms for the first 23 years of my life as a legal secretary, paralegal and eventually becoming office manager of a large law firm. I retired in 1987 to raise my children. Since then I have been very involved in fundraising by planning, budgeting and hosting large events for several private schools in the area. I started a stock club and was president for 6 years. We just recently disbanded. I have been getting my AA degree in economics/accounting which I received in 2005. I have been taking courses at Antioch university with an interest in getting my bachelor's degree sometime in the future.

Companies I like:

I enjoy working with finances. I am proficient with Quicken and QuickBooks and have worked on Excel in the past. I would like to work part-time at this point but I would really like to have client contact as well as handling their finances, bookkeeping and business affairs.
